Capital Campaigns

ECF has helped Episcopal congregations, dioceses, and other communities of faith around the country raise millions of dollars for property, program, endowment, debt retirement, and outreach. We are the only national non-profit to exclusively serve Episcopal congregations, dioceses, and communities of faith. Our Discern-Study-Ask methodology has a proven track record of success.

We would welcome the opportunity to partner with you to achieve the financial goals for your capital campaign. That’s just the beginning. Our holistic approach can also help you tap into the potential your capital campaign offers to bring your members together to heed God’s call, to identify and raise up new leadership, to enhance your sense of mission, to tell your story more effectively, and to increase your capacity to serve.

ECF’s three-phase Discern-Study-Ask approach to capital campaign management is designed to provide a successful experience financially, strategically, and spiritually. Each phase is adapted to our client’s size and community culture, and is executed by an experienced consultant familiar with the traditions of the Episcopal Church:

• Discern: Identifies your ministry’s needs, involve others in prayerful consideration of those needs, and communicates a collective vision for your ministry
• Study: Evaluates your readiness and financial capacity for a capital campaign through a formal study that includes a realistic assessment of how much can be raised
• Ask: Launches your campaign with professional management oversight and systems to keep your efforts on track, maximize results, and ensure a successful outcome and spiritually grounded experience for all
